Facebook Promotion! Get your FIRST CLASS FREE...
Have you wanted to come out to a class, but just aren't sure what to expect? I'm running a limited time promotion where you can come and try the class out for FREE.
Please know that ALL of my classes are "judgement free!". This means you can be yourself, and laugh and sweat, and nobody is judging you. Do you sometimes fall over doing a walking lunge? That's fine - I've done that myself :) Are you worried you may fall off the stability ball during our stability ball fitness class? Don't worry, you won't be the first, or last person to do it!
I'm so lucky to have such a great group of ladies who come out, we are just all there to sweat, burn calories and tone up while having fun.
So email me at dawnlinklater@msn.com or call me at 519.356.1000 to let me know which class is the one you would like to try out!

JANUARY & FEBRUARY 2012
Hi Everyone,
Hopefully you're all enjoying a fantastic holiday season so far!
I'm so excited about this New Year ahead! I love a fresh start. There's something about opening that fresh new calendar and planning your important events into it, birthdays, holidays, etc. While you're putting those important events in the calendar, take a minute and schedule your fitness goals. Schedule it into your day as a priority and promise yourself you will stick to your plans. It's easy to get off track, but I promise you will feel better about yourself if you stay on track and accomplish what you have planned.
If you want a few tips for nutrition goals for yourself, scroll down to the bottom of this post (after the flyer) for some ideas. Feel free to ask me or email me if you have questions.
Please find below the fitness class schedule details and flyer for January and February 2012!
As usual, payment can be made with cash or cheque. If you are interested in paying with PayPal, that's no problem. Just email me and I can email you a link where you can make your payment online using your PayPal account or a credit card.
I'm looking for a minimum of 10 participants for each class to run, so please let me know as soon as you can if you are able to join us for one of the sessions. Thanks! :)
CLASSES ARE DESIGNED WITH BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED PARTICIPANTS IN MIND - ALL EXERCISES CAN BE MODIFIED TO MAKE THEM EASIER OR MORE DIFFICULT, DEPENDING ON WHAT WORKS FOR YOUR NEEDS.
For each class, you will need to bring a yoga mat, towel and water to drink. On the Wednesday night classes, please bring a stability ball. Let me know if you don't have one, I have some spares and I'll bring you one.
NOTE: Our Monday night circuit class is being revamped to include lots of fun moves that will get your heart pumping and make the workout fly by.
If you are a beginner, and a little self-conscious - NO WORRIES! These classes are all judgement-free zones. I'm glad to say that I have a super-friendly bunch of women who come out to my classes, and they are all fun-loving, supportive and very friendly too. :)

NUTRITION TIPS FOR YOUR NEW YEAR! Here are some very simple New Year's Resolutions you can try. Let me know how you make out!
1. Skip the pop. Even diet soda drinkers tend to weight more than non-soda drinkers. Drink water instead - 8-10 glasses per day.
2. Increase your fibre intake. This is something that can really make a difference. It can keep you feeling full, reduce cravings, and is proven to help you lose weight. Aim for 25 grams per day (keep track!) and be sure to have your 8-10 glasses of water per day since the fibre absorbs water and otherwise you can experience some tummy troubles... :(
3. Eat breakfast within 15 minutes of waking up (or as soon as you possibly can). This kick-starts your metabolism and gets your day off to the right start. My favourites are steel cut oats with fruit and nuts, or a high-fibre cereal (ie. Fibre One)
Happy New Year Everyone!
Yours in health and fitness,
Dawn :)

NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2011
Hi Everyone,
I hope you like the little cartoon! Don't stop believing! :)
Wow! Here we are at the end of October. I hope you all had a great autumn! Halloween is right and around the corner, and Christmas is exactly two months from now.
If you haven't seen my Facebook posts, I just want to let you know that because it is In Motion Month in North Perth, I will be running a FREE fitness class in Atwood at the Elma Memorial Community Centre this Sunday, October 30th, from 6-7pm. I'd love to fill the Community Centre - so please let everyone know, and bring your neighbours, family and friends! Also, bring a yoga mat, a towel, and water to drink. See you then! :)
Many of you have been asking about my November and December fitness schedule, so, without any further delay... here it is! Just scroll down to the bottom of this post to see it.
If you would like to register for a class, please email me asap to secure your spot, and to help me figure out how much equipment to bring. As usual, payment options are cash, cheque, and credit card (PayPal). If you choose to pay by PayPal, simply click the link below (scroll down past the flyer) and follow the prompts.
If you need to make up a missed class, I ask that you try to make up the missed class during the current session - unless there is a medical reason or family emergency - in which case, just let me know and we will figure something out.
Thanks everyone!
Dawn :)
ps. I just want to say a big thank you to my Team, The Pinksters of North Perth, for joining me in the Run for the Cure this year! It was an awesome run and I was so glad to share it with all of you!
pps. If you "Like" me on Facebook, you will see updates about all of my classes. This might come in handy as the winter weather rolls in (although I'm hoping that won't be until late January sometime...wishful thinking...I know...) Anyways, if you are on Facebook - just search "Dawn Linklater Nutrition & Wellness" and my page should come up.
To register and pay for the 6 Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday classes ($48 for 6 classes) shown in the above flyer, click below at "Buy Now". If you are paying for Monday & Wednesday classes, go through the payment process twice. Call me or email me if you have questions. Thanks! :)
NORTH PERTH GROUP FITNESS - SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER 2011
I hope you are all having a fantastic summer! To those of you who are joining me for the free classes, being held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm in Atwood, I hope you're enjoying them. I love getting out with all of you, and why not take advantage of the summer weather and enjoy the outdoors? If you haven't made it out yet, you're still welcome, so come and join us! Sometimes we will have a weather related cancellation. If the weather seems questionable (ie. major heat, or some rain), check my facebook page status to see if there has indeed been a cancellation. Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/DawnLinklaterNutritionandWellnessCoach
I know, it's only the beginning of August, but since I had to get my classes scheduled in time to make it into the North Perth Parks and Recreation Community Calendar, I figured I may as well share them with you all so you can start planning your September/October schedule...
NEW STUFF!
You will notice I am going to be incorporating a few yoga and pilates based exercises into the programs! I'm headed away in a couple of weeks to the Can-Fit-Pro Conference where I will be taking LOTS of workshops. Here are just A FEW of the cool classes I'm taking:
Yoga to the Core
Epic Abs 20/20/20 (Stability Ball)
Boot Camp with Toys
Best of Boot Camp
Pilates Intense Sculpting
Yoga Tune Up - Making Psoas Simple (for those of us with tight hips)
I'm looking forward to coming back with tons of fresh ideas, and bringing them to all of you! I'm also taking other courses on motivation and nutrition - oh my goodness, it's going to be a very busy few days!
HOLIDAYS
Below, please see the flyer for the upcoming program. I'm taking a week for vacation at the end of September, so you will see there are no classes scheduled during that time. Also, Thanksgiving falls on Monday October 10th, so, no class that day. Halloween is on a Monday too - we'll take that night off. I'm also taking Wednesday October 19th off, since I'M TURNING 40 THAT DAY!! Yikes! I think I definitely need that day off!
IT PAYS TO REGISTER IN ADVANCE
Please note that for those of you who register in advance, you will see a 20% savings from paying on a drop in basis. In advance, you can sign up for all the Monday classes, all the Tuesday classes, or all the Wednesday classes. Or all of the Monday and Tuesday...or all of the Monday and Wednesday - you get the idea - whatever works for you! Paying in advance works out to $8/class, if you choose to drop in to the classes instead of paying in advance, then the cost is $10/class.
RUN FOR THE CURE
You may remember from my last post that I'm putting a team together for the Run for the Cure! This is a 5k that gives you a run or walk option. The date is Sunday October 2nd, and it is held at Bingeman's in Waterloo. It truly is a lot of fun, and obviously it supports a fantastic cause, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. I've had many of you tell me you're interested already. If you're thinking about joining us or if you have questions, please let me know.
Anyways, I will stop rambling on and let you have a look at the program...it is below.
I'm wishing you all a happy and safe rest of your summer, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon!

NORTH PERTH GROUP FITNESS - REVITALIZE YOUR RESOLUTION!
MARCH AND APRIL PROGRAM - 2011
Hello Ladies,
We are now well into the New Year! I don't know about you, but I have found this winter to be very loooong so far. Bring on spring! :)
I've been really enjoying teaching my classes this winter. I love chatting with all of you at the different classes, hearing your feedback, and watching you all get stronger with each class. Although it has been cold, we've been really lucky with the weather, and (so far - knock on wood)
I haven't had to reschedule or cancel any classes due to bad weather. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this continues, and we can make our way into spring without any cancellations at all.
New Program
My new North Perth Group Fitness "Revitalize Your Resolution" Program is on it's way! It will begin in March. I have attached the flyer for you to have a look at. If you like, you are welcome to print it and post it where others who might be interested can check it out. :) ... Keep reading after the flyer for new updates and news!

You will notice that there are limited dates in March, due to the Kin Station not being available on Fridays in March because of the Paddyfest Festivities. St. Mary's School is unavailable during March Break, and I'm taking some vacation time in March too....but in April we are back to the exciting, and more regular "3 days per week" schedule. Hopefully, March will give us some mild weather and you can use those free nights to head out for a walk or walk/jog, or some other fun activity! :)
I'm excited about a change to the Monday Program. For those of you who don't like change, don't worry! I think everyone will enjoy the different concept for our Monday classes and it will add a little more variety to the class. The exercises are still totally workable for all fitness levels, and I look forward to showing you the new program. I promise you, this new Monday night class will fly by so quickly, because you will be having so much fun!
Hoop Appeal
I'm excited to be getting my Hoop Appeal trainer certification in March! Hula Hooping is THE cool new fitness craze, and after watching some hilarious videos on YouTube, I can see why! It looks like the perfect way to have a great workout while having lots of laughs at the same time. This hoop fitness class can appeal to all ages, and I'm thinking of running a class for kids aged 10+, probably starting in April sometime. If this is something you would like to see incorporated into a fitness class for adults, let me know and I'll work it in!
Payment Options
As always, I accept cash and cheques. If it's more convenient for you, you are always welcome to drop off your payment and register with Amy Gangl at North Perth Parks & Recreation in Listowel.
PayPal
I had a fair number of clients pay for their classes with PayPal for the last set of classes. This option is safe, convenient, and so easy! I have set up that option again below. So, if you would like to use that method of payment, simply click the "Buy Now" link below, and follow the instructions. The cost for the full program (all 14 classes) is $98.

Referral
If you wouldn't mind please forward the link to this website to to family members, friends, and neighbours. I always think word-of-mouth is the best form of advertising. :) Thank you!
Family Day - Bring Someone for FREE!
As you know, this upcoming Monday February 21st is Family Day! In honour of Family Day, on Monday, I invite you to bring a female friend or family member to join you for FREE! This class is the Full Body Fitness Class at the Elma Memorial Community Centre in Atwood, at 6.30pm sharp. Hope to see you and your friend/family member/neighbour there! They will need a towel, yoga mat, and some water to drink.
Off Sick - Too much time on my hands!!
Okay, so the last couple of months, my husband has been really sick. (He's pretty much better now, thank goodness!) Unfortunately, he has managed to transfer his illness to me, and I've spent the last couple of days on the recliner with my laptop. I'm feeling MUCH better today than yesterday! Anyways, I put all that extra time to good use and created a little video to advertise my new program. It's kind of looong, at almost 5 minutes, but I had fun putting it together! Hopefully, it's not too boring, and I promise my next video will be much shorter. :)

This class is the Full Body Fitness Class at the Elma Memorial Community Centre in Atwood, at 6.30pm sharp. Hope to see you and your friend/family member/neighbour there! They will need a towel, yoga mat, and some water to drink.
Off Sick - Too much time on my hands!!
Okay, so the last couple of months, my husband has been really sick. (He's pretty much better now, thank goodness!) Unfortunately, he has managed to transfer his illness to me, and I've spent the last couple of days on the recliner with my laptop. I'm feeling MUCH better today than yesterday! Anyways, I put all that extra time to good use and created a little video to advertise my new program. It's kind of looong, at almost 5 minutes, but I had fun putting it together! Hopefully, it's not too boring, and I promise my next video will be much shorter. :)
I hope you got a little chuckle! :)
Well, it's time for me to get myself together...I'm teaching a class tonight.
Feel free to contact me with any questions, I look forward to seeing you soon!
Yours in health and fitness,
Dawn :)
ps. My friend Deanne is creatively fundraising for the Weekend to End Women's Cancers, as well as the POGO Foundation (Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario). Her fundraiser is called "2011 Bring on Spring 60 Day Fitness Challenge" , and that's right up my alley!

NEW! 7 WEEK PROGRAM STARTING JANUARY 17th, 2011
NORTH PERTH GROUP FITNESS PROGRAM!
Happy Holidays to you all!
I'm pleased to be unveiling my fitness programs for the New Year, and even more pleased to be offering you a savings of 40%!
BIG SAVINGS!
The New Year can be financially challenging for all of us, once Christmas has come and gone, sadly, we are all left paying the bills. I don't want this to get in the way of your fitness plans for the New Year. Also, I know that many of you aren't able to make it out three times per week. Even if you need to miss one class per week, at 40% off, you are still getting a really good value with this program.
CLASS DETAILS
Classes start on January 17th and run every Monday, Wednesday and Friday until the end of Feburary. Class dates and details are all shown on the flyer below.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU...
Once again, I am partnering with the Town of North Perth to offer you full body fitness classes that will improve your cardiovascular conditioning, increase your lean muscle, strengthen your core, burn fat - and, to top it all off, boost your mood! Seriously, exercise is proven to help with depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Getting out, getting your heart rate up with a fun group of ladies, listening to great music and having a few laughs along the way while you are working out, what could be better?
My fitness classes are always "Judgement Free", meaning that participants of all fitness levels are encouraged to join us. The exercises can all be modified to suit your individual fitness needs.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GROUP TRAINING?
Studies have proven that in a Group Training atmosphere, people tend to work out harder than those working out alone. The other members of your group provide a source of accountability and the atmosphere is more energized. You are more likely to do your very best. Also, Group Training is scheduled - it's an appointment. As such, it's more likely that you will make it a priority. It's also a great way to spend time with your friends while working towards a common goal!
EASY PAYMENT, AND THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT!
For your convenience, I have set up an account on PayPal. This is a secure and super-easy payment option that lets you pay by credit card in just a few clicks. Or, if you prefer, send the link to this webpage to your husband/partner/favourite gift buyer and let them know this is one of the things you would like for Christmas! Easy, right?! If you're not a fan of online payments, you may mail me a cheque or drop off cash to secure your spot. For your convenience, cash and cheques can be dropped off to myself, or Amy Gangl at North Perth Parks and Recreation. Registrations are being accepted as of now. Once your payment is received, your name will be added to the list of registrants, and I will email you a confirmation. I'm looking for a minimum of 20 participants to run this class, so feel free to refer your family, friends and neighbours so they can get in on this great deal! I am capping registration at 24 participants, so the sooner you register, the better!
PROGRAM COST
By prepaying in advance, you will pay only $114 for 19 classes, which works out to only $6 per class! The drop in rate is $10 per class.
To pay for the program online, simply click the Buy Now button below, and follow the instructions. Feel free to email me your questions, feedback, or suggestions! As always, I love to hear from you!
Happy Holidays to you and your family!

NEW! 6 WEEK PROGRAM STARTING NOVEMBER 1st -
A NEW YOU - BEFORE THE NEW YEAR!
Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all enjoing this wonderful autumn season!
After putting much thought into what fitness and nutrition progamming would be most beneficial to our community as we approach the Holiday Season, I have come up with a new 6 week program that will begin November 1st. "A New You, Before the New Year!" The full program includes a Nutrition Seminar, Grocery Store Tour, and 2 Private Nutrition Coaching Sessions (30 minutes each), and Weekly Weigh Ins (if you choose). As well, it includes 12 Fitness Classes that will boost your metabolism and tone up your body before the Holidays!
If you feel like you are already on track with your nutrition, you have the option of registering for the fitness classes only. The choice is yours! Fitness classes will be held 2 days per week, Mondays & Wednesdays. For prices, dates and locations, please see the flyer below.
In the Nutrition Seminar, I will discuss ways to MAINTAIN your weight, or LOSE weight during the Holiday Season (wouldn't it be great not to have to lose that extra 5 to 10 pounds in January?!). I will share recipes that are delicious, yet low-calorie and nutrient dense, that your friends and family will LOVE! I will also discuss clean-eating, healthy fats, fibre, and share tips that will help you and your family stay healthier during the holiday season. The Nutrition Seminar will be followed by a Grocery Store Tour of Zehrs. We will go through the store and I will show you the products that will help you reach your health and nutrition goals. I will also point out foods to be avoided.
To register for this program, please reply to this email ASAP, and let me know your intent to register, then contact Amy Gangl at North Perth Parks and Recreation. Her email address is agangl@northperth.ca, or you can reach her by telephone at 519.292.2056 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 519.292.2056 end_of_the_skype_highlighting.

Walk to Run for Beginners...
Note: August 25, 2010 - Our running group had great results from the Walk to Run Program! I'm currently mid-program of a 4-week Walk to Run. Email me at dawnlinklater@msn.com if you'd like to join in the fun!
The 8-Week Walk to Run Program may run again in the spring of 2011. If you would like more information, or would like to be added to my mailing list, please email me. Thanks! :)
Have you ever wanted to run?
It can seem daunting at first, especially if you have never run before, or are feeling out of shape. Would you like to learn to run? I can help!
I'm excited to be starting a Beginner's Walk to Run Program in Atwood. It is an 8-week program, and with some encouragement, some training, and some hard work, at the end of the program, you will be able to run 5km.
This program runs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday beginning Monday April 5th. Our last run will be Friday May 28th. We will run from 6pm-7pm each evening on the Atwood Trail.
UPDATE - APRIL 20, 2010: Our group of 13 runners are all doing great! We have just started our third week and are currently running about 80% of a 5k with some scheduled 60 second recovery walks in between. If you are a runner and would like to join us mid-program, you can email me for details at dawnlinklater@msn.com
What will you need to get started?
You will need a good pair of running shoes. A hat that will stay on your head while running! Water. Sunglasses. An open mind and a positive attitude. Don't forget your sense of humour!
Our group is committed to working towards running 5km. We run rain or shine! (The only time we will not run is if there is lightning)It might be a little messy, maybe a little muddy on some runs, but I promise you will there will be some sunshine too. You will definitely have fun and make new friends with the same fitness goals as you, while learning to run and feeling great about yourself. All this, while burning calories and increasing your cardiovascular endurance!
Each run will begin with a warm up and end with a stretching/cool down session.
How much does it cost?
The cost of the full 8-week program is $100 per person.
